Further images
The privileged relationship of the little girl and her horse, a theme that I have taken up many times, inspired by my own daughters.
“The language of sculpture is composed of words of love and poetry,” wrote Zadkine.
I hope through this performance to express a little of that.
Sophie Verger plays with the pure reason of the look and lies the opposition of her interpretation.
Beyond anthropomorphism there is also, often, the notion of games. With animal representations worthy of Pompon but going beyond a simple realistic look, Sophie Verger sculpts poems, whole tales in one piece...
Provenance
It is a very old story, perhaps a myth, perhaps not, when the earth was a garden where they lived in peace, an era of harmony and of games: the childhood of the world. It was a time when the children of men learned to speak the language of the seal, even before the forces of nature incarnates themselves sometimes in the hippopotamus, sometimes in the crocodile.Exhibitions
This sculpture will be presented for the first time by Hiam Fouat – Millet Museum as part of the “Animal Emotion” exhibition.Nov-Dec 2023: "Whisper of Innocence", group exhibition, Art Yi gallery, Brussels, Belgium
